Tinfoil

Just yes­terday dis­cov­ered the com­pany Tinfoil, which is doing some really cool work with AI models run­ning inside secure enclaves—end-to-end encrypted inference, basically. I found myself get­ting really excited as I paged through the site, both because the capa­bil­i­ties are inter­esting and because it’s all so crisp and well-presented. It’s refreshing to encounter a project with such a deep and evi­dent keel — both moral and technical.

Here’s a reason to do good, prin­ci­pled work in the world: it cre­ates res­o­nance in other people. This morning, going back to the site to dig a little deeper, I feel myself ever-so-slightly vibrating.

One of the com­pany’s co-founders has a great-looking blog, too. I found her short essay The Closing of the Frontier totally compelling.
